| 0:56.0 | That's the way it works. |
| 0:57.5 | It was, um, NBA draft is funny because unlike the NFL draft, it's just all projection, right? |
| 1:04.4 | Like, you're just kind of, you're kind of guessing because everybody's so young. |
| 1:09.6 | I don't know how I, you know, it's, I don't have a, I'm supposed to have really strong takes.
